i've been so anxious. so many thoughts. so much change. so many mixed emotions. life is changing, God is working, and I'm barely hanging on. i feel lonely, but yet so connected to my sweet savior, i wonder what is about to take place in my life. who will i be when i get home in six months? what changes will have taken place here in knoxville? my head is full to its capacity. deep breath, i'm still here. i'm ready yet so afraid.
i'm reading Joshua right now, coincidence? i think not. So Joshua is somewhat like me, He's been called by God to take on this giant mission. to lead God's people into the promised land, to take the place of Moses, to gain the respect of these people, and to lead. But the part that gets me, is this: Joshua has NO clue of what is to come, he's never done something so crazy or out of his comfort zone. this is ALL so new. BUT catch this- HE KNOWS GOD IS THERE. what a beautiful picture that is for me when i get overwhelmed. "Haven't I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don't be timid; don't be discouraged. God, your God is with you every step you take." (Joshua 1:9 MSG)
And that right there is why i have the strength to go. the strength to leave all that i know, all that i'm comfortable with. Because my God is HERE, every step of the way.
